Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

Except we primary him and we either lose and get blamed for when he loses, or watch our progressive challenger lose because the rest of the country hates him.

America isn’t nearly as progressive as us Internet weirdos think it is.

I hate Biden and hate that I have to vote for him. Future generations are definitely going to hate us.

There’s a new theory that the ramps were actually internal. I like it because it means they don’t need to bring a lot of extra material and manpower to the site just for the ramps since they’re built into the structure of the same material.

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I can be at home, but it’s not until I’m in comfy pants, on the couch, with a drink in hand that I’m home

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

Also if I made something with “federation” I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Trek nerds showed up

MFW I show up in proper obscure cosplay

The closest thing I have to a worst enemy is the mother of my children, but my kids also really love my cat so I don’t know how I’d answer.
